I have the same problem. At first, I thought I had purchased rotors that were too big, but I was informed that this was normal. The only REAL way of getting rid of it, is to clean the rust off and paint it.

Easy fix, with pic we now know what you're refering to....steel wool....solvent then you can finish it up with black High Temp paint. Paint in your garage and mask everything off, you don't want that paint on your cars surface. Should last a few years before it shows again....if ever Gary

Don't worry too much about it. My dad's HR Z has the same issue. He barely drives it though.. such a shame. But seriously, no worries. Like everyone recommended, take some sand paper/ steel wool to it.

Did you recently buy the car or change the rotors?
They aren't zinc-plated, hence the rust. It's there to stay unless you sand and paint it.
I have the same thing, and it annoyed me (you may find my thread if you search).
It still bothers me, but I'll wait till the summer to paint them.
Be happy your rotor hat also isn't rusted:

Speed up to 65 then lock up the antilock brakes..... take it off no problem. j/k There is this stuff made by nasa we used on my boat. I think its called corrosionX. they basically let a machine sit in salt spray for 30 days then designed this stuff to lubricate it up and make it work again. If you dont want to paint it you could sand it off then spray that stuff on it to keep the rust off. Nasa doesnt play when they design something

They sell this rust remover compound at Autozone for like $4/bottle. Plenty enough for what you'll be doing.
Then buy some high ceramic brake rotor paint and paint the hubs of your rotors. Don't worry if any get on the face of the rotor as it will shave off when you drive the car.
Apply first coat, let dry, and apply a second coat.
I had this problem when I bought over sized R1 Concept Drilled/Slotted Rotors while maintaining the stock pads/calipers. There was rust on the actual face of the rotor where the pad wasn't contacting. Thankfully, the hubs were already painted from the vendor.
It looked like crap so I had to paint the face of the rotor, the very inner portion, near the hub, and it's been on there for almost 2 years now without peeling/rusting.

^ ah steel wool is a great idea. I totally forgot about that stuff (surprising, seeing as how I use it to clean dishes all the time)
